Chapter 796 - 452: The Heavenly Dao Is Incomplete, I Establish the Immortal Court
Some Divinity Transformation Cultivators can forcibly break through the Celestial Dao Barrier, perhaps finding a simpler path to the Outer Realm Starry Sky.
At least, it’s much easier than when the Celestial Dao was complete before.
The Great Dao is limitless, life is endless.
Humans can only adapt to the Celestial Dao but cannot force it, after all, all life under the Celestial Dao Rules is just insignificant ants.
...
Boom!
One day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
Suddenly, a muffled thunder resounded throughout the entire continent of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, a golden light soared in the sky, boundless gold brilliance like another rising sun, releasing endless golden radiance in the sky.
In an instant, this golden light even overshadowed the sun overhead, making it almost impossible for people to open their eyes.
Moreover, this golden light descended, accompanied by an extremely terrifying aura, suppressing all living beings and cultivators in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, a pressure like a collapsing mountain, terrifying beyond compare, almost suffocating everyone.
This pressure was not static, but increased with the strength and realm, the greater the pressure the higher one’s own and spiritual will, even those top existences standing in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, were pressed to the ground, unable to fly.
"What is this?!"
In an instant, everyone’s hearts were shocked by this sudden pressure, expressions became suspicious and awe-struck.
No one knew what this soaring golden brilliance represented, yet it gave a feeling of unprecedented terrifying suppression, immobilizing people.
Contrarily, the ordinary mortals or some animals with mortal blood did not feel the slightest, moved as usual, freely.
"From today onwards, the Celestial Palace opens, Immortal Court established, this is the essence of the ’Divine Court’—the Investiture of the Gods, whose names are listed will have eternal life with the Celestial Palace, immortal and enjoy incense for eternity!"
A moment later, a dignified voice echoed in everyone’s heart.
In an instant, everyone was stunned by this sudden news, eyes became vacant, thoughts stopped, they were all just standing there.
It seemed to be just a sentence, but the impact it brought was enormous, the shock was beyond all reactions.
In an instant, as the voice fell, the suppressing pressure of heaven and earth vanished, those previously oppressed to the ground did not react, and all remained in a rigid posture, motionless.
"That voice of the Supreme Being? What does this mean? Those listed on the Investiture of the Gods, worshiped for eternity, immortal, enjoy incense forever?!"
"The Investiture of the Gods? Could it be the treasure for enshrining deities?"
"Simply unheard of, never heard before?"
...
After several short breaths, among those high-tier cultivators in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, such news completely triggered emotions.
Some were shocked, some contemplated, some were excited, some eagerly wished to rush and be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Only a dozen years away from the final battle, the name of the Celestial Palace Emperor Venerable was no longer dared to be mentioned, but everyone knew of this Supreme Being.
In many people’s eyes, Zheng Yi almost represents the Celestial Dao of this world.
The words he spoke, naturally no one dared to doubt, everyone deeply believed.
Even those high-tier cultivators who reached extremely high realms would absolutely not think Zheng Yi would deceive them.
After all, the dignified celestial palace emperor, pioneering for eternity, established the Path of Heaven and Earth, saving the world from water and fire.
Such existence, by comparison, they are like fireflies compared to the bright moon, if they could catch a glimpse of the glow, they would feel extremely honored, the Great Dao could be accomplished.
Many rubbed their fists, very excited, even thinking if they could join the Celestial Palace, they could enter the immortal class, not knowing how many detours to avoid.
...
Rumble!
Just as everyone was about to fall into a fervent excitement, above their heads, the Investiture of the Gods, which had calmed above the nine heavens, finally dissipated its golden light, revealing its true form.
Everyone held their heart spirit heavy, opened Spirit Eye, looked distantly at the nine layers of clouds, each gaze focused above, loudly discussing.
Suddenly, the names of deities once enshrined by Zheng Yi leapt in the sky, each golden character like iron strokes and silver hooks, like dragon seals and phoenix characters, continuously arranged and sorted, like a magnificent writing unfolding layer by layer in the sky.
The massive vortex seemed to bridge two worlds, invisible golden mist rising, covering everything mundane, only cultivators at Golden Core Level and above could see the sights within, each like beings coming out of ancient myths, listed under the Investiture of the Gods, slowly walking out from the place exuding ancient grand divine aura.
A towering figure, momentum like waves, an extremely tall stature, even surpassing mountains and peaks, merely standing in the void, terrifying pressure poured down like a storm.
The terrifying aura covered everything, even those strong as Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation-like existences, could clearly feel the substantial threat.
Perhaps just a forceful footfall, terrifying strength, could crush them into pulp.
Five Directions Ghost Emperor!
This is the supreme of Netherworld, the Five Directions Guardian Deity.
Initially, they followed Zheng Yi all along as the Five Elements Ghost Infant, Ghost King, during the long campaigns, enjoyed the offerings of incense, finally becoming now enshrined as the Five Directions Ghost Emperor on the Investiture of the Gods!
Subsequently, those incredibly powerful Eight Celestial Gods, various Venerables, Divine Spirits, emerged one after another from the Investiture of the Gods, their phantoms like mountain ranges, seemingly lined up on Sumeru Mountain, eighteen thousand deities, displayed before everyone.
In an instant, terrifying majesty reached its peak, like tides, wave after wave transmitted downward.
Yet this time, facing this more terrifying aura, the countless beings and cultivators of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm were not at all terrified, instead, their eyes were filled with excitement and passion.
After showcasing the ’Investiture of the Gods’ this national treasure, Zheng Yi directly established a powerful Divine Court in the Nine Provinces Divine Kingdom above the Celestial Dao beneath.
Immortal Court, Netherworld, one high above the nine layers of clouds, one under the Nine Netherworld, far apart yet interdependent, forming an absolute balance.
𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Accompanied by Zheng Yi’s deliberate display, the Investiture of the Gods opened, the appearance of numerous powerful deities ignited the fervor of countless cultivators in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
For them, this world lacks something, if they were to exhaust their lifespan here, still not enjoying great longevity or nature, then it’s better to settle for second best, even if restricted by being listed on the Investiture of the Gods, it is better than wasting life, ultimately perishing, turning to dust.
After all, on the throne of the Celestial Palace, there sits that existence, serving under him does not seem to disgrace their identity.
At this moment, the grand aura of the Investiture of the Gods, covering the entire heaven and earth, those exalted deities made many high-tier cultivators realize, that perhaps there is not an absolute dead end ahead, there is another choice.
Moreover, the Path of the Divine Dao is equally formidable, offering infinite choices and glorious prospects.
Not to mention other things, even the benefits of being on the Investiture of the Gods, enjoying longer lifespan, is pursued by many.
A strong impact struck numerous cultivators, their hearts oscillating, even for a moment, they were speechless.
Originally the confusion within, shattered by the emergence of the ’Investiture of the Gods’, what was once thought of as leisurely and powerful, now seems like being a frog at the bottom of the well.
It was only not seeing a higher level.
Breaking inner pride, it now depends on personal choice, as light appears ahead, no longer unimaginably dark, making the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm surge with immense waves again.
